We study the exclusive Λb → Λl+l− decay in the Appelquist, Chang, Dobrescu model within one universal extra dimension. We investigate the sensitivity of the branching ratio, lepton polarization and forward–backward asymmetry AFB to the compactification parameter 1/R We obtain that the branching ratio changed about 50% compared to the SM value, when 1/R = 200 GeV and zero position of the forward...
